REU Site: Optics and photonics: Technologies, Systems, and Devices

由新泽西理工学院（NJIT）主办的本科生研究经验（REU）网站专注于吸引来自代表性不足的人群和研究机会有限的机构（如社区学院）的本科生参与光学和光子学技术、系统和设备等关键新兴主题的研究，并激励他们考虑继续接受电气和计算机工程及相关领域的研究生教育。光学和光子技术、设备和系统是现代通信系统、传感器和计算的推动者。通过专注于下一代光学和光子学技术和系统，该计划旨在增加具有该领域技能的学生进入劳动力市场的人数。这个REU网站为本科生提供了参与光学和光子学研究的机会，与教师导师和他们的研究团队一起，在三个重点领域进行为期10周的密集和独特的夏季项目：1)光通信和网络；2)光学和光子器件；3)光学系统。REU学生的实验室经验将通过技术研讨会和非技术主题的讲习班，如演讲技巧和道德，得到加强。每个学生将准备一份最终报告，并在项目结束时在新泽西理工大学的国际本科生夏季研究研讨会上就他或她的项目进行演讲。

This Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site hosted by New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) focuses on engaging undergraduate students from underrepresented populations and from institutions with limited research opportunities, such as community colleges, in research in the key emerging topics of optics and photonics technologies, systems and devices and inspiring them to consider continuing graduate education in electrical and computer engineering and related areas. Optical and photonic technologies, devices and systems are enablers for modern communication systems, sensors and computing. By focusing on next generation optical and photonics technologies and systems, this program seeks to increase the number of students entering the workforce with skills in this area. This REU Site offers opportunities for undergraduate students to engage in optics and photonics research, with faculty mentors and their research teams, during an intensive and unique 10-week summer program in three focus areas: 1) optical communication and networking; 2) optical and photonic devices; and 3) optical systems. The REU students' laboratory experience will be enhanced by technical seminars and workshops on non-technical topics, such as presentation skills and ethics. Each student will prepare a final report and give a presentation on his or her project at the end of the program at NJIT's International Undergraduate Summer Research Symposium.
